Choosing a child's name often becomes a rather serious problem for most parents. Young mothers and fathers, as a rule, select in advance from several dozen or hundreds of options only name, with which the child will have to live his whole life. The determining criterion for choosing a name is its consonance with the surname and patronymic and, undoubtedly, its beauty, and maybe even originality. For many parents, it is very important that the child’s name is rare, so options are selected not only from modern names that are fairly well-known in society, but also from outdated (ancient) names. For example, it sounds very nice Old Russian name Yaroslav, but even in our time it is not so rare. But such old Russian male names as Lukeriy or Vedagor may seem strange to many.

If you look at statistical results, then one can notice that in Lately demand for rare beautiful names increased significantly. By choosing a beautiful exotic name for your child, you will undoubtedly provide him with increased attention from others, but some difficulties may arise. Not every exotic or foreign name can go well with Russian patronymics, and such a discrepancy is more likely to spoil the impression of a name than to emphasize its inherent beauty.

A rare name already imposes certain obligations on a child from birth, because with such a name he receives much more attention from others and he cannot simply “sit out” on the outskirts of life. It happens that parents name their children after a person with a rather rare name, but after a few years this name becomes widely popular and becomes not so rare. With the bearers of such rare names at certain times, funny and sometimes even sad incidents often happen in the future.

The attitude of the person himself towards his name is also important. I think that you have more than once met people who are embarrassed by their rare name, this becomes noticeable already in the first minutes of communication, which is why the attitude of others towards them develops accordingly - often even dismissive. And on the contrary, a person with a rare (exotic) name, who never focuses attention on his peculiarity and is calm about his “chosenness”, deserves decent respect. That is why weak people cannot cope with such a burden, best case scenario They become simply withdrawn and uncommunicative. Stronger people can walk proudly through life, glorifying their rare name and achieving success. Often, among people with unusually rare names, you can find both famous heroes and, unfortunately, the most famous criminals.

It must be taken into account that in society there is a huge difference in communication between adults and teenagers. It’s hard to even imagine how adult uncles and aunts come up with offensive nicknames or teases for each other, but among children this is considered quite normal behavior.

A too rare, fancy name often makes a child a “black sheep” or an object of ridicule from his peers, making him constantly feel complex and embarrassed. At the same time, using names that are too common can have a negative impact on self-esteem: when there are many boys in the class with the same names, it is difficult to feel like an individual. But a way out of this situation can be found very easily - just come up with an original abbreviated name together with the child, such that only he can be called. If you named your child a rare name, do not forget to repeat often what an unusual and beautiful name he was given, try to tell the story of how you chose it, why, what it means, in a word, help your child to be proud of how his name.

However, all this is quite general reasoning that is difficult to apply to everyone. to an individual, because a rare name can be elegant and euphonious, or it can sound quite strange, funny and even ugly. This often happens to visiting people whose parents come from a completely different country. cultural environment, their names in the new conditions sound strange, ugly or sometimes ugly. Psychologists, in similar cases, persistently advise such people to officially change their name in order to overcome the social and psychological barrier.

Probably the example of other parents will help you choose Right way in achieving your goal. But anyway, when choosing a rare name for a child, be sure to consider:

How will the name sound in combination with the patronymic and surname?

Is a rare name easy to pronounce? For example, Paphnutius, Agarophon or Erast often sound strange.

Will the child like the name when he grows up and will the person be ashamed of his name? Holder exotic name can survive a large number of unpleasant moments not only in childhood.

Doesn't this rare name sound too pretentious and pretentious? For example, King, Prince or Hero impose serious obligations and responsibilities on their bearers.

Doesn't a rare name evoke any unpleasant associations? For example, the name Adolf will not be met with loyalty in any society.

There is such an anecdote: - Elisha, son, don’t they tease you in kindergarten? -Who will tease? Ostap? Eustathius? Arkhip? Prokop? Or maybe Naum? Indeed, you go to the group, and there is the thirtieth kingdom, and not kindergarten. Parents have recently (read when the watchful eye of conscientious grandmothers from Soviet Union) began to come up with unusual names for boys. Well, whatever you call the ship, that’s how it will sail.

It is widely believed that a person needs a name to be his “individual distinguisher.” Scientists refute this position with a variety of facts. For example, in Sweden in the 60s of the last century, the population was approximately 7 million. Of these, 381 thousand people bore the surname Anderson, 364 thousand people Johanson, and 334 thousand Carlson. In Moscow at the same time, there were 90 thousand Ivanovs in the telephone directory, of which a thousand were Ivanov Ivanovich Ivanovs. The same name was widespread. This situation is realized in two versions: father and son or mother and daughter have the same name. Or a tougher option - siblings have the same name. For example, Tsar Ivan III had two siblings, Andrei, and two daughters, Elena. In the Middle Ages, among the Poles, a canon named Jan Dlugash lived in the city of Krakow. According to surviving documents, 10 of his siblings had the same name. And in the Russian pre-revolutionary village, 25% of men bore the name Ivan, and what a beautiful name for a boy.

Greatest and unharmed

Today, parents are increasingly thinking about how to make their child stand out from the crowd and help him live bright life, calling him unusually. Giving a rare name to a boy, no matter how punish it may sound, is not uncommon today. Something like this list of unusually beautiful names for a boy will help you distinguish your son from his classmates, and then classmates or colleagues:

• Adam,
• Arthur,
• Adrian,
• Bronislav,
• Boleslav,
• Benedict,
• Walter,
• Hermann,
• Gordey,
• Demyan,
• David,
• Elisha,
• Zakhar,
• Ignat,
• Clement,
• Christian,
• Lyubomir,
• Martin,
• Nathan,
• Orestes,
• Oscar,
• Plato,
• Rudolf,
• Stanislav,
• Taras,
• Felix,
• Khariton,

In 2015, the Moscow Civil Registry Office registered the name Sevastopol for the first time. Also in different cities, parents chose such rare and beautiful names for boys as:

• Diamond,
• Jazz,
• Hector,
• Kuzma,
• Laurel,
• Luke,
• Radislav,
• Radamir,
• Dawn,
• North,
• Spartacus,
• Fadey,
• Jaromir.

At the same time, the most popular names in Russia for many years have been Alexander (meaning “defender”), Artem (“unharmed”), Maxim (“greatest”).

Recently, the tendency to call children with forgotten ancient Russian names has returned, primarily those that were previously given by the church: Zakhar, Platon, Savva, Demid, Lukyan, Miron, Ruslan, Rurik, Svyatoslav. This is really good for Russia in terms of compatibility with first and last names. A separate “caste” of these names are all those that end in “slav”. In the 11th-13th centuries in Rus', these names mainly referred to the Rurikovichs. The main thing is to teach the child, when he grows up, to clearly pronounce his name, otherwise he will simply be Vyacheslav everywhere, and not some Boreslav or Miroslav. By the way, the now popular name Milana is similar in meaning and origin to Miroslav, so children of different sexes can be called Miroslav and Milana.

With Russia everything is clear - stability. In the USA, for example, the most popular names for boys are John, Robert, Richard, William. In England, popular modern names for boys are: Stephen, Paul, David, Mark, Alan. And in Germany - Ben, Luca, Paul, Lucas, Leon, Maximilian, Felix, Noah, David, Jan.

It is interesting that in some countries the number of names is not regulated at all. In the city of Percelles in Belgium in 1972, a boy was given a name consisting of the names of 22 local players football club. In Russia, the number of names is strictly limited. And it’s good - it’s not hard to imagine what a riot of names our parents would have come up with back then in an attempt to create the most unusual names.

Life stories

It is interesting that many parents who gave their sons rare and unusual names found it difficult to talk about exactly how they did it. Most either simply read the dictionary of names, choosing almost at random, or said “it hit me during pregnancy.” It seems that few approach the choice thoroughly, study the meaning of the name, pronounce the name out loud, try on affectionate sounds. But some mothers still told amazing stories.

Mom Anastasia, son Bazhen:

I have always been interested in names and their meanings. When I found out about pregnancy, I immediately decided that the name would definitely be Slavic origin, in my case - Old Russian. There were other options, but they disappeared the same day they were proposed. I chose the name for my son, I read a lot about its origin, I like its meaning and sound. The name comes from the Old Russian verb “bazhat”, which means “to desire, to want”, that is, Bazhen is a desired child. The name was common in the Middle Ages in Rus'. I affectionately call him Bazhenchik, or Zhenya for short.

Mom Inna, son Gordey:

It turned out that I came up with a name for my son 16 years before Gordey was born. I worked part-time as an assistant teacher in a children's sanatorium, and in my group there was a boy named Gordey. He was ten years old and looked like an angel: blue-eyed, blond, very kind, well-mannered, and most importantly, smart beyond his years.

To my joy, my husband immediately liked my cherished name for his son. For the sake of order, we tried to look for other options, but nothing else suited us at all. Although I had a spare name - Vasily, in the end it was Vasily that I married, and this option disappeared by itself.

It’s interesting that in 16 years I have never met a person named Gordey, but now I know several of my son’s little namesakes, born in the last year and a half. So the name is no longer so rare.

Our Gordey was born not in Russia, but in Cyprus, where my family and I temporarily live. And it came as a surprise to me that my son’s name turned out to be difficult for foreigners to hear and speak. Cyprus is a country that loves children very much. On the street people constantly meet Gordey, play, talk and, of course, ask his name. Sometimes you have to repeat several times and answer clarifying questions: “No, not Harry. And not Gordon." One of his son's diminutive names is easier to pronounce: Gordy. And in our family we call him in the Russian manner - Gordyusha. So the name sounds cozy and homely.

Name the boy unusual name or not, of course, is entirely a parental matter. He will be Jan, Sasha or Elisha - it is the parents who must choose, although the public may object. The main thing when choosing a name for a boy is to remember one extremely important thing: the first name must be combined with the patronymic and surname. If a girl can still change her last name, then the boy will most likely live his whole life as he was named by his parents.

Russian modern male names

Modern Russian name book

The modern Russian name book includes Russian names that are currently used in Russia.

In addition to the original Russian names in Russian name book included Jewish, Greek, Roman (Latin), Scandinavian and Persian names, which were adapted on the territory of Russia and have long been perceived as Russian.

Most Russian names that are currently used in Russia are not originally Russian in origin. They were borrowed from the Greek language along with the Christian religion and came to Russia from Byzantium.

By the 18th-19th centuries, Old Russian names were almost completely forgotten, and the imported Christian names were changed taking into account the peculiarities of Russian pronunciation (Aquilina - Akulina, Juliania - Ulyana, Artemy - Artyom, Daniil - Danila, Jeremiah - Eremey).

Where did the Byzantine (Greek) names that became Russian come from?

The Greeks also collected into their names the best names of all the peoples with whom they maintained trade and cultural relations.

In addition to names of ancient Greek origin, they used ancient Roman and Hebrew names, and also used ancient Persian, ancient Egyptian, Chaldean, Syrian and Babylonian names.

If we consider names by meaning, then almost all names Greek and Roman origin talk about positive (desirable) character traits and appearance.

Hebrew names different from Greek and Roman. Most Hebrew names are associated with the name of God. For example, Gabriel is my strength god! Daniel is God's judgment.

Currently name books of any country includes not only the original names of its people, but also borrowed names. This is the result of cultural and trade exchange between peoples, the mixing of cultures, and also a consequence of the migration of peoples.

The name book includes the name, the origin of the name and the meaning of the name.

Attention! Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters are using our name, our email addresses for your newsletters, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they lure people to various magic forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for performing magic rituals, making amulets and teaching magic). On our websites we do not provide links to magic forums or websites of magic healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations over the phone, we do not have time for this. Note! We do not engage in healing or magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services. The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books. Sometimes people write to us that they saw information on some websites that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander and not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our website, in the club materials, we always write that you need to be an honest, decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase. People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The times have come when slander pays well. Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and engage in slander against decent people even simpler. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience and faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud. There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor who are hungry for money. The police and other regulatory authorities have not yet been able to cope with the growing influx of "Deception for profit" madness. Therefore, please be careful!
